Dastardly and Muttley didn’t show up but we still managed to have a great time last Friday evening! In celebration of Youth Sunday, young people from across the town descended on St. Joseph’s to compete in Wacky Races. The Friday Night Fun crowd from St. Patrick’s and St. Teresa’s looked magnificent in their blue sweatshirts but that didn’t put the other parishes off from giving them a run for their money.
The Smelly Curtain Race proved to be a surprise hit though the highlight of the night was undoubtedly the Space Hopper Race. Not everything went according to plan, though, as the wind-up meerkats thought it would be better to go backwards or even not go at all. As Dick Dastardly would have said, ‘Muttley, do something!’
It wasn’t all quite so Wacky, though. At half-time in the races we gathered in the Day Chapel to reflect on these words from Hebrews: ‘Let us, with perseverance, keep running in the race which lies ahead of us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, who leads us in our faith and brings it to perfection.’
Thanks to Fr. Adrian for leading us in this, Fr. Michael for his excellent hospitality and Kev’s School of Cacophony who provided the uplifting music. Thanks also to Katie and all the ladies in the kitchen for providing such delicious food, to Gavin for being our MC, Anthea for scoring, Jim for the sound system and to all the team captains. Finally, big, big thanks to the YMCT Youth Section for being there to help with all the odd jobs that needed doing. We really could not have done it without you!
